lieve that those who are fond of Summer sport will not be 
debarred Hus year, all efforts to prohibit it by law having 
failed, so fur as we have been able to learn from careful 
inquiry. 
—Bay snipe will make their appearance, going south- 
ward, tn a few days, and afford good shooting until the 1 st 
of September. There will probably he a good flight along 
the eastern part of Long Island. Look out for them] 
A letter from Forked River, Ocean county N J 
says “we are getting out our jack stools and overhauling 
and painting them for July, about the 4th or 6 th of of 
which month the first flight occurs. The first “kill"
